An Incident in a Tunnel.

One of our most eminent stage heroes Was travelling by train in Switzerland few weeks ago. Op- posite him sat d couple of hand some young ladies, who not only stared him out of counteuauce, but made him the topic of their whispered conversation. Flat tered first by this delicatea ttention the actor spontaneously submit. ted to it, but in the long run he. began to grow tired of "this sort of thing and determined to put a stop To it. When in the tunnel before req ching Lausanne, he i'm printed d few audible kisses on the back of his hand. After the train emerged from the tunnel, the actor sat calm and impressive as if nothing had happened, while the ladies stared at each other and began series of mutual recrimi- nations on the enormity of their conduct in taking such Hotties with the hero of the footlightS.
 Of course, each blamed the other, and the dispute lasted until the train stopped at Lausanne. Be fore leaving the carriage the actor bowed to the ladIes, hat in hand and said: Ladies, the great at tention which you bestowed on me during the journey makes me naturally agXious to learn which of you gave me in the tunnel so striking a proof of your affection" He did not wait for a reply but left the ladies to their retie ctions.

Make a Little Dust Anyhow.

My son you may not be mi ssed a great deal by very wide circle of people when you die. II won't be necessary for you to leave much money for tombstone. The few people who love you, who tender ly and dearly and truly love, will know which mound covers your sleeping figure, and they can find it just by the ferns and grasses that wave above it and monu- ment ninety feet high won't make strangers care for you, or make them love you. or make them re memter you. You may be missed a great deal by very many people when you die, my boy, but that isn't what you want to think about. You want to make yourself felt and noticed while you are here. That's what you want to do. And that is more than most men do.
 Just run your eye over this par agraph again, if you have time, and think over 1t little, while you are waiting for morning service to begin. Now and then you will meet a man who actually rejolces in mean, envious sort of way to think that in a few years his more popular, prosperous, sue cessful neighbor may be dead and forgotten. It may be true. The big, wide world is so busy win the living, that she does forget her children when they fall asleep. But you will notice that the man who rejoices in this is unusually q man whom she has forgotten while he yet lives; who is not noticed; who is not felt or heard in the world at all. Now, do you go ahead, my boy, and don't stop to wonder whether the world will remember you or miss you one hundred years from now-llttle you'll care for this old world in q hundred years; heaven send it may be under your feet then-youj just go ahead and make yourself felt now. When you are gone the world will get along without you my boy; but while you are here do you make 1t understand that you are running part of this show yourself; if it is nothing more than standing at the tent door and di reeting the people to pass to the right and move along in front ot the cages.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Surgical Operation
 4. FATAL MISTAKE.

TnE Cleveland (Ohio} Press, of February 23d, 1885, pub- lished an account of fatal surgical operation which caused q great commotiou among med- ical men throughout the whole country, Dr. Thaycr, the most eminent surgeon Ill Cleveland, pronounclng 1t scandalous. It appears that Mrs. King had been suffering for many years from some disease of the stom- ach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with slight de- engagement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed by q peculiar lndescrlbable dis trcss in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky a cold precipitation. There was a constant tired and lan- guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unahle to re- tain any food whatever, and there was co",,ant paln m the abdomen. All prescribed rem edies failing to give relief, a consultation was ltSl, when 1t was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order to save the patients life an operation was justlfi- able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1885, the opera tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckelman, Dr. Ptlrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwell o the Police Board, The operation consist ed in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been done an cxamin- ation of the or0anS ' x made, but to the horror nnI dismay of the Go,lu"i tHu. WAS no cancer to he found. Inc pa tient did not have n cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, bnt the poor woman sank from exhaustion and Glrd in few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of q surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman hal taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was,, sue would have been liv- ing to-day. SuAEEG EXTRACT OF RooTs, or SHIG:L'5 CURATIVE SYRUP, a remedy made ex- pressly for Dysrn '~ia or 1ndi- gestion, has rystor d many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its efficacy in curing this class of cases Is too yohminous to be published here; but those who read the published evidence in favor of ,nis lyspcptic remedy do hot question It's convincing nature, and the article has an extensive sale.

AGRICULTURAL.
Sweet Potatoe Culture.


 The season is now at hand for sweet potato planting and a few suggestions upon this topic may not be amiss to those of our read CTS who are not fully posted up on 5his subj ect. The following we clip from correspondent Of the Indiana Farmer seems to be ap- nlicable to our regIou hence we reproduce it here, as it accords with our views and experiences in Il measure He says:
 q will tell yon how l grow and care for sweet potatoes. l will not % back to the hot bed and tell you how to grow the plants, but l will tell how to grow and care for the sweet potato. The first thing of importance is to select the right kind of soil to grow them in \ warm sandy soil is preferable, and the more sand the better, pro- qiding it is not quite all sand. It the soil is not naturally fertile it should be made so with good well retted manure. The richer the soil the more bushels of potatoes you will get to the acre, providing you do not crowd your plants too close together. Do not plant too early m the season. \ sweet DO. tato plant will do no good in the ground until the soll becomes well warmed by the sun. In this lati. tade about the ist, of May IS soon enough to set the plants in the open ground. The ground should not be broken any faster than you can nse 1t. Have your ground well pulverized immediately after it is broken. and throw up the ridges and set the plants while the ground is yet moist. Do not break the ground too deep, Many have failed to raise q crop of sweet potatoes on richer piece of ground by stirring the soil too deeep. Four to five inches IS deep enough Do not crowd your plants too close together. If your soil is rich throw up your ridges six feet from center to center, and set your plants in the ridges two tee. apart. Ibis will give you S,625 hills to the acre. A sweet potato requires great amount ci heat from the sun 10 make it grow lively, and if you have your plants too close together you have your ground so thickly clustered up with vines that the potato beneath never knows whether the sun is shining or not shining.
 Do not mako your ridges too large. Right here is where halt the sweet potato growers make a fatal error. A ridge for sweet po- tatoes should be about two feet high, and not very thick through, then the sun will warm it up and do his part of the work. In cnlti- Naiion do not take a blow to throw the most of the ridge down and then up again, but use short hoe and just keep the surface clean. Do not wait to do this untIl the weeds have hidden the plants, but go at it while the weeds are small and easily destroyed. Remember the old adage, "A stitch in time saves nine.n Two or three hoe iugs is all they need if your ground ls not foul. After 1 quit working my potatoes never bothered pulling the vines loose; this is all labor for nothing. Where these vines take root at the joints it is a benefit to the potato. These roots carry food from the ground to the vine, which is carried through the vine to the potato. Some people do too much work to their sweet potatoes. others not enough.'- Rural x Workman.

a GENTLEMayLY DOG.

There is dog who lives in one of
our nearest suburbs who proves great
solace to widow to whom he does not
belong. Dogs are usually given to con
fining the benefits of their care to
ther own household, but this one, re-
cognizing the unprotected state Of the
widow, who lives alone, is willing to ex-
tend his watchful services to her house.
She is little afraid of the visits of
.tramps who pass her house on the way
to Boston. The farmer who owns the
dog, therefore, when he sees a suspic-
ious character coming up the road, says
to his dog:
"Jack, go over to Mrs. HIS and sit on
her piazza till the tramp gets by"
Whereupon the dog, who is large
st. Bernard, flies over to Mrs. HIS, posts
himself at the door, and if the tramp
comes up the walk steps forward and
growls pleasantly at him. AS the dog
is big one and rather forbidding in APP
pearance, though he has never been
known to bite any one, the tramp, in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, re-
members that it is getting late and that
he hasn't any time to fool away along
the road. When he is we'll out of sight
the dog promptly returns home.
The dog carries his gallantry to the
same lady to such an extent that when
she is visiting his masters house of an
evening, he always accompanies her
home, taking her to the very door OF
the house. Baston Transcript.

One of the most pathetic stories con-
nected with the settling Of this country
is that of the Quaker Dickinson, who,
emigrating from Jamaica to the "West-
ern Wilderness" was shipwrecked on
the inhospitable coast of Florida, then
peopled by savagcs who were canni-
balls.
The Quaker had child--a fair,
beautiful baby, a year old. The Indians
crowded about it with delight and Won
der. For the sake of this child, the
whole party was protected and fed,
during an inclement winter when the
natives were themselves almost starv-
ing on account of the destruction Of
their stores.
They were passed from one tribe to
another, and guided on their long,
terrible journey on foot along the coast
until they reached the settlement at
South Carolina. Tho savage women
nursed the baby until it grew strong,
and cried bitterly when they parted
from it.
A clergyman in the South, who de-
voted many years to teaching the black
convicts in the penitentiaries, says:
"There was one class of criminals so
ignorant and brutal that and the other
clergymen found it impossible to reach
them in any way.
zone of my parishioners, gentle,
good woman, proposed that they should
be left to her. She took her child, a
beautiful baby of 2 years, in her arms,
and going into the room where they
were, sat down and talked quietly to
them of Jesus. Every face softened at
the sight of the child. No terror of
the law, no argument. had moved them
as did its innocence and helplessness. !"
Lord Iddesleigh, whose sudden death
shocked all England not long ago, once
said: 1--WE seldom consider the human
izing influence of the children in the
world.
@"There is one passage of Scripture of
which / often think in relation to tho
children of London. 1t is that last
verse of the book of Jonah, where we
are told that Nineveh was saved by six
six-score persons in it who could not
discern between their right hand and
their left. It is Incredible how much
every great city owes to the refining
and elevating influence of its little
ones"
But parents should remember that it
is the innocent, guileless child that God
has set in the midst of the world as a
helper, not one filled with vanity and
the love of show, an epitome of vices
and follies of adults.

little ones. - -Youth's Companion.
